Frederic Massara on his way to Juventus after leaving Roma: signing

Juventus is preparing to announce Frederic Massara as a new member of its management structure, in a move that signals the continuity of the internal reorganization in Turin. The director, who played at Roma, left the capital club on May 19th and is free to embrace a new challenge, after a difficult season at the Giallorosso club.

The agreement between the parties will already be in place and the signing of the contract is expected in the next few hours, according to information provided by Gianluca Di Marzio (Sky Sport). Massara's arrival is part of Juventus' efforts to strengthen the technical organization chart for the next season, clarifying recruitment processes, sports planning and coordination between the main team and the youth teams.

In his farewell to Roma, Massara left a message of gratitude and optimism regarding the club's future: "I thank the owners for the opportunity to return to an environment to which I am particularly attached. I believe that this year the club has laid additional foundations for a successful future and I wish the entire AS Roma family all the best." Words that reflect the leader's connection to the giallorosso project and the work carried out in recent months.

Despite the internal difficulties that marked Massara's last year in the capital, Roma managed to secure a return to the Champions League — a goal they had not achieved since the 2017/18 season. This sporting outcome, combined with the manager's accumulated experience at the highest level of Italian football, contributes to Juventus' interest in integrating a profile with in-depth knowledge of the market and the competitive dynamics of Serie A.

In Turin, Massara's mission should include helping to finalize the final design of the technical structure for 2026/27, supporting the planning of inputs and outputs, the definition of priorities in the market and coordination with the technical team. For Juventus, which aims to return to competing for national titles regularly and to have a consistent presence in the advanced stages of European competitions, the consolidation of the sporting area is seen as an essential step.

If the signing is confirmed in the next few hours, Massara will formally join the Bianconero emblem before the most intense opening of the summer market, allowing to accelerate dossiers, align strategies and offer stability to decision-making. The officialization, eagerly awaited by fans, will be another chapter in Juventus' management remodeling, which seeks to reinforce skills and clarify responsibilities at the executive level to support the next phase of the sporting project.
